Railroad switch actuation system, railroad switch and method for recording data for determining a state of wear of such a railroad switch actuation system and/or railroad switch

Abstract

The invention relates to railroad switch actuation system (1) comprising a component (10) selected from the group consisting of: at least one point machine assembly (20), at least one end position detection assembly (30); wherein the component (10) is configured to be attached to a railroad switch (2), characterized in that a sensor unit (3) is mounted in or on said component (10), wherein the sensor unit (3) is configured to record a motion of the component (10) caused by a railroad vehicle passing the railroad switch (2) for evaluating the recorded motion to determine an indication of a state of wear of the component (10) and/or the railroad switch (2). The invention further relates to a railroad switch (2) comprising such a railroad switch actuation system (1) as well as a method for recording data for determining a state of wear of the railroad switch actuation system (1) and/or the railroad switch (2).
